The Wal-ish Mk1 Fully Loaded Body. Premium Parts. (Or, Turner SPSC Multicoil Pickups, Double NFP Special Mark 2 Preamp, Lusithand Knobs, Hipshot A Bridge, and Custom Fender MIM Precision Body with Dunlop Straplocks) - *SOLD* £469 Edinburgh

Hey all

 

Since I have a fully working Wal-ish Mark 2 bass after all my YouTube adventures, I’m selling off the Mark 1 Wal-ish bass. Well, most of it, since I’ve used the neck somewhere else for a project. 
 

So I guess there are 2 ways to do this. 

 

The first way is I sell everything here as a unit, and someone gets a bargain for the loaded body. Stick a neck and strings on, you’re good to go. A fretless neck would be ideal for this. 
 

The second way is that folks want different bits of it and I part it out as people ask for them. I’d update the thread as we go, in that case. 
 

I don’t mind which way it sorts itself out. 

 

The body is an alder MIM Fender Precision Bass with a custom black pickguard. Fully loaded with all parts, it weighs 3.17kg.  Unloaded of the parts apart from the pick guard, it weighs 2.52kg. 

The loaded body has the Turner SPSC multicoil pickups with parallel, single coil, and series switching for both pickups. These are hooked up to the newest Lusithand Double NFP Preamp Mark 2 and loaded with the Lusithand Knobs. The pickups are placed where Wal Mk1 pickups sit. These bridge is an aluminium Hipshot A bridge, and the body has a battery box and Dunlop Straplocks. 
 

These are of course all premium parts.

 

Cost for the fully loaded body - £469. Shipping is additional to this.
 

This is a great deal for someone, the cost of parts and work to get something like this is obviously much higher. 

—————

 

The other way is for the individual parts to be sold off as folks ask for them. This will mean the pickups need rewired to the switches etc as they don’t all come out whole. 
 

1. Turner SPSC multicoil pickups with switches - details at https://reverb.com/uk/item/50385599-turner-pickups-multicoil-4-string-mc4-n-spsc. These will cost you £310 + shipping + import fees from USA for you to buy a set presently. £229

 

2. Lusithand Double NFP Preamp, Mark 2. This is the newest version with all the latest features like the attack switch. The knobs will come as part of the preamp if desired. Details at https://lusithanddevices.com/product/double-nfp/. New with knobs, it is £220. To you as individual part, £149. 
 

3. Hipshot A bridge in Aluminium. This allows string through bridge stringing if wanted (not used on this build here though). £49

 

4. Heavily customised Fender MIM Precision Bass body in Electron Blue with custom pickguard, Dunlop straplocks, battery box, and side jack. Some light scratches as photographed. £99

 

Shipping is additional to all prices.

I meant to say. Here’s what these Turner pickups sound like with an ACG EQ01 preamp - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bDxJtT8a3cc

 

And here’s what they sound like with the Lusithand Double NFP (the Mark 1 version, not the Mark 2). - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gAMnqz6Uoic

 

They sound great with the preamp in this body - the Double NFP mark 2.

Oh, crikey! There was me with a plan to stick a lovely fretless neck (recently acquired from someone who may or may not be on this thread) into my old Jazz body and then this comes up......gulp!

Aaand it’s gone. Thanks everybody.
